John: Hello everyone! I’m thinking about buying a cross trainer. Does anyone of you have any experience in using it at home? Could you maybe recommend me something?
Anna: Hi John! I bought my first cross trainer a couple of years ago and I have been using one ever since. The type of the machine greatly depends on your built and how much many you would like to spend.
John: My budget is quite limited as is the space in my living room…
Michael: I’d advise you to first measure the room to know how big the machine can actually be for you to exercise comfortably and effectively.
Tom: Waste of money, most expensive cloth hanger
John: Hahaha, I hope it won’t be in my case. I’m quite determined to lose some weight. I’m tall and a bit overweight, so I worry that I may break the machine
Anna: Don’t worry about that. It shouldn’t be a problem, but have a look at the specs just in case.
Michael: When it comes to the price, cheaper models don’t have as many electronic options as the more expensive do, but I’d advise you to invest in it if you’re being serious about losing weight.
John: Why’s that?
Michael: You can always exercise with your phone and an app, but it’s not the most comfortable way (tried it myself). It’s good to have at least three preinstalled programmes like weight-loss, interval, etc. Then the machine will think for you.
Anna: My first cross trainer didn’t have such options and I must admit that I was also training with my phone and keeping my times. Now, when the old broke, I bought a “fancier” model and I definitely don’t regret it
John: Do you have any company you can recommend? Or a specific model?
Susan: I have OBE8731 Powerstride 18" Rear Drive and I think it’s ok.
Anna: I think that in case of cross trainer it really goes down to the price range. You won’t be able to buy a really good equipment cheaply.
Michael: I agree, especially if you’re determined and interested in your scores. It may sound silly, but I think tracking your progress helps to lose weight.
John: Thank you so much for your advice! I can’t spend too much, but I don’t want to throw my money away on something that won’t serve me…
Anna: Sure, again, in my opinion it is a thing worth investing in. Look up some tutorials and exercise plans in Google, it will also help you out to achieve your goal.
Michael: Good luck! | John wants to buy a cross trainer but he has both a limited budget and space for it. His friends advise him to invest in more expensive machine if he's determined to achieve his goals. |

I also wanted the forked tongue from an adder, maybe lizard’s leg and an owl’s wing? That should do the trick! now our potion will truly be horrendous MWAHAHAHA!!!"

guard: Knight Varquad is our weakest link. He cried during sword practice the other day just as the King was passing by. He makes us all look bad!
servant: Sounds to me like he would be better off as a maid to the King than fighting for him!
guard: I've heard rumors that he's the illegitimate child to the Kings brother. That's the only way he's even a Knight now. He doesn't have the strength or bravery like the rest of us do. Even as a guard, I'm stronger than he.

Emma: Success! I’ve finished reading Gone with the Wind 😊 you can congratulate me now.
Olivia: I almost don’t believe it 😀 so, how was it?
Emma: Well, it’s understandable why it’s considered a classic, but I think it’s a very SAD book overall.
Olivia: Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s getting more and more depressing, but the ending is surprisingly hopeful, so that’s something. So, what did you enjoy most?
Emma: I guess Scarlett and her character 😀, how the South was portraited (a mean nostalgia) AND the banter between Scarlett and Rhett. I think their conversations were brilliantly written.
Olivia: And the grandeur of it all!
Emma: Yeah, so what do you propose I read next?
Olivia: Hmm, let me think 😀
Olivia: No, wait. I think first you should watch the movie if you haven’t already.
Emma: Ok, is it good?
Olivia: It’s awesome!
Emma: Ok, I believe you 😀
Olivia: <file_gif> | Emma's finished reading Gone with the Wind. Olivia and Emma agree that the book is quite depressing. Emma appreciates not only the portrayal of Scarlett and the South, but also well-written dialogues between Scarlett and Rhett. Olivia tells Emma to watch a movie. |

owner: I agree, my friend. There's no better life in the world, outside of these current conditions. No better feeling than working with the land to provide food for yourself, your family, and others who may not have a way to grow any for themselves! No, Sir-ree! No better feeling, at all!
farmers: I am grateful for my work and for my family. My sons have learned from me the farming ways. If they decide to venture somewhere else, at least they have skills to fend for themselves.

town baker: Are you now? I'm also a baker.
the town baker: Well that's one thing we have in common… So you really didn't place an ad on Craig's list? Or are you just disappointed and pretending you don't know anything?
town baker: No, I haven't an idea of what you are speaking of.
the town baker: Alright well, I won't take up anymore of your time. I'll message the person I saw texting with and they must have gotten house number wrong. Maybe they're at 3131 Mockingbird Lane or something. Thank you for being so gracious about the whole thing I'm sorry to have bothered you.

#Person1#: Yeah, maybe you're right. How about this outfit?
#Person2#: This dress looks lovely on you, but it's not very practical, is it?
#Person1#: No, I don't have any plans to go to a formal dance any time soon, but I love the way it looks. I just had to try it on! What do you think about this? It's casual, yet sophisticated.
#Person2#: I like the jeans, but you need something to go with the top. It's too plain on its own.
#Person1#: How about this scarf, these earrings, amd an anklet?
#Person2#: That might be going overboard a bit. How about just that scarf with a bracelet?
#Person1#: That's a good idea. You have a lot of good fashion sense.
#Person2#: Thanks. You'd be ok on your own. There are loads of fashion victims out there, and you are not one of them. Have you tried it on yet?
#Person1#: Yep. Here it is. What do you think?
#Person2#: That looks great. Just one more thing---you need some high heels with those jeans. Do you want a pair with a plain pattern or ones with a leopard print on them?
#Person1#: The leopard print sounds fabulous. Are they a name brand?
#Person2#: No, they're a Prada knock-off for 1/10 of the price of the real thing.
#Person1#: That's even better than the real thing.

Zoe: We saw the oncologist today and finally know where we stand. No rush, he said, so we are relieved.
Sophie: Which therapy has he recommended?
Zoe: He reassured Bill that it's almost not recommended to have the Brachytherapy at his low level of cancer.
Sophie: Is it the one with radiation elements working from inside?
Zoe: That's right. But he says that due to the cancer being in both lobes he will do it but there is no rush. So the tension has eased off.
Sophie: Is it because there is so little cancer in the lobes?
Zoe: That's how I understand it. But there is also Bill's heart condition. The oncologist will confirm with the cardiologist when Bill can come off the blood thinner and then will perform the op.
Sophie: We were told when it was under consideration for Wolf that the op itself is a micro op, without cutting through the skin and all that.
Zoe: That's right. 40 radioactive seeds 4 mm x 1,8 mm will be inserted into the prostate via some microsurgery procedure. No scars at all.
Sophie: How long does it take to get rid of the cancerogenous tissue?
Zoe: Radiation lasts 2 years diminishing in strength every 6 months by half. And he won't be even aware of their working.
Sophie: So it is quite good news, isn't it?
Zoe: Oh yes. Bill is very happy after seeing the doctor today.
Sophie: Aren't we lucky to live in these times of really successful medicine?
Zoe: Very much so. Medicine is advancing so rapidly that we all should live to around 90 or 100 years...
Sophie: Let's wait and see! Anyway give Bill our love! | Bill has prostate cancer at a low level. Due to Bill's heart condition, cis oncologist will confirm with his cardiologist when he can have the operation. |

villager: Yes I understand. I live in the old village near the forest. I gather magical worms there and the fish bite real good.
peasant: Magical worms you say? Is there any money in those?
villager: No money in it. People think I'm crazy.

#Person1#: Hey Rocky! You've been sitting around all night. Get out and dance with someone like that woman over there.
#Person2#: No way! She looks like the intellectual type.
#Person1#: Oh come on man! What kind of woman do you like?
#Person2#: I want a woman who's affectionate and fulfills my every need, and that woman over there is just not the right type.
#Person1#: Hey. Where have you been? Times are changing, and you're never going to find a woman who will shine your shoes and pick up after you all the time. Wake up.
#Person2#: Oh really? I meet a lot of women like that, but not at this party. [Oh.] I also prefer a woman who'll stay home, cook, clean, and watch the kids.
#Person1#: Okay, but what are your household responsibilities once you get home from work?
#Person2#: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw out the garbage.
#Person1#: Wait, wait, wait. I can't believe I'm hearing this. In fact, you're never going to get married. I recently read a news report that said 40 percent of women don't think their husbands do their share around the house, and you seem to be that type.
#Person2#: Well, that's the way I am, but what's YOUR idea of the perfect woman?
#Person1#: Well, I like a woman who's outgoing, caring, and non-judgmental about people's differences, and it bothers me when people think their the center of the universe ... like someone I know.
#Person2#: Well, that's nice for you, but that doesn't change my point of view. I guess I'll have to go home to a TV dinner and my dog, Rusty.

Joan: Hello dear, didn't see you in church today!
Jean: Oh, well, my back is playing me up, I think it's sciatica again!
Joan: Oh no! Not again! Tom had that, he was in pain for weeks.
Jean: Well, it's not too bad at the moment, I've got some of Donald's painkillers just in case.
Joan: Now you be careful, check they haven't expired.
Jean: No, they're fine, he has loads!
Joan: Don't become an opiate addict will you, darling?
Jean: I'm not that stupid! I am very careful with medicines, you do remember that we were both nurses for 40 bloody years, don't you!
Joan: Yes, of course, but I know that when you're in pain it's easy to self-medicate and overdo it. Perhaps you should go to the Dr.
Jean: Maybe, if it gets worse, they're busy enough with real problems.
Joan: Well, just take care, that's all. How are Maisy, Harry and the kids?
Jean: Well, the two oldest have just started secondary and Idris hates it! The little ones are still in primary, getting on well, it seems. Harry may have to move to Scotland, though.
Joan: Oh, that's so far away, let's hope not!
Jean: Yes, but it's lots more money, so he is considering it seriously.
Joan: Well, I'm sure it'll work out for the best. Did Stella call in?
Jean: Yes, after church, she came in snooping to see why I didn't turn up, nosy bitch!
Joan: Well, since Ken died she's lonely and wants to chat even more, she doesn't come up for air!
Jean: You're telling me! She stayed for almost 3 hours, I had to tell her I had to go to bed to rest my back, couldn't get rid of her otherwise!
Joan: I'm the same, I do try and dodge her at church if possible, but she often seeks me out and I'm stuck for the whole morning, she insists on going to the Church Hall for coffees.
Jean: Perhaps we should try to find her a new husband! Your brother's a widower, isn't he?
Joan: Bloody Nora! Can you imagine having Stella as your sister in law! No, I don't think Bill will be up for that!
Jean: Anyway, must go start dinner, see you next Weds, hopefully, back permitting.
Joan: Rest yourself now, lovely. See you soon! | Jean didn't come to church today due to her back pain. Jean takes painkillers for it. Jean and Joan were nurses for 40 years.

clergyman: That seems most unfortunate, no idea how they have gotten through the gates.
a watchman: Rumor is a guard has been letting them in through the eastern gate, it's less guarded because it is only big enough for a person to walk through.
clergyman: A traitor among your ranks eh?
a watchman: Unfortunately. God has left many of the men, now they're out for themselves.

Marketing: You have got market range international and you did say earlier it is got to be a accessible and usable by sort of all age groups just t we are not focusing on business market any particular thing it is everyone
Project Manager: yes yes I do not think we have to I do not think it is a case of worrying about different languages and things like that making that a key point just that it is going to be in the international market like Australia America things like that What are your experiences with remote controls ? I mean I have got we got we had three videos a TV and a sort of amp thing all set up so we got one of the universal remote controls that you programme each of your things into but that kept losing the signals so we would have to reprogramme it every now and again I think it was quite a cheapie as well so that might have had something to do with it but that was quite good the fact that you could You did not have six remote controls sitting in front of you
Industrial Designer: Use all the ones at the same time
User Interface: you want to integrate everything into one like
Marketing: My experience has only been being given the remote control with the object I buy not doing any tampering with it and programming using it to programme TV and videos and things But basically on off volume up and down channel one two th that basic functions I do not think I could go any further with it than that so I suppose it is got to be something usable by someone like me as well
Project Manager: the main that is the main stuff anyway I mean and you do not want to I hate I hate looking at a control and seeing a million tiny little buttons with tiny little words saying what they all do and just sitting there searching for the teletext button or something like that
Marketing: Mm And symbols that you do not necessarily understand symbols you are meant to understand that you do not
User Interface: So simplification of symbols you could think of
Project Manager: When they are when you have got the main things on the front of it and a section opens up or something to the other functions where you can do sound or options kind of recording things like that inside it Because it does not make when you pick it up it does not make it really complicated to look at it is obvious what you are doing
Marketing: Actually that just raises a point I wonder what our design people think but you know on a mobile phone you can press a key and it gives you a menu it is got a menu display I wonder if incorporating that into the design of a remote control might be useful so you have got a little LCD display
User Interface: Right I was thinking on the same lines you instead of having too many b buttons and make it complicated for the user may h maybe have an LCD di display or something like that like a mobile and with menus And if it is s somewhat similar to what you have on mobile phone people might find it easier to browse and navigate also maybe
Project Manager: What about the older generation ? What about granny and grandads ?
User Interface: You mean to save it lesser number
Project Manager: my grandad can answer his mobile phone but he could not even dream of texting or something like that
Marketing: Mmhmm Mmhmm Can he programme his remote control or is it basic with that too ?
Project Manager: I do not think they tape things
Industrial Designer: my grandads actually better than me at using teletext so
Project Manager: I do not think they use
Marketing: Right Right So that is a problem regardless of of any design modifications you you come up with that is going to be a problem anyway with the older generation perhaps
Industrial Designer: what it just needs to be as long as it is sort of selfintuitive and you can can work out what everythings doing because I mean menus on sort of new phones now they have sort of got all these pictures and stuff which makes it fairly obvious what you are trying to do
Project Manager: I do not know I d
Industrial Designer: But I do not know how
Project Manager: I do not like the you know the new phones that have kind of got a Windowsbased running system I find it really confusing I kept getting lost in the phone I di I have not got a new one but my friend got a new one and I was trying to do things with it and I just kept getting lost but that is just me
Industrial Designer: I do not I do not know how for twenty fi or twelve Euros fifty how much of a excellent screen you could get you would you would have to sort of keep it down to a black and white LCD thing anyway I would assume
Marketing: Mmhmm Is it possible that that for the older generation you could have like an extra button that you press for large print like you do in large print books ?
Project Manager: Teletext has got that option as well
Marketing: Obviously it displays less on the screen it displays less on the screen but as long as they can read it that is the main thing
Project Manager: Or what about kind of a dual function ? In that you have got the basic buttons just for your play volume programme things and also and then a menu to go into with obvious pictures obvious symbols and that is where you control recording and things like that
Marketing: Mmhmm Mm The other thing is just ch chucking into mobile phone f design features again it could have a flip top remote control so that when you flip over the top your screen is you can have a bigger screen in the the flip over
Project Manager: I think that is a cost thing I do not I do not know how much we are going to know about
User Interface: it might save a b bit of space it is i instead of looking bulky it might look small
Project Manager: Yes no that is important
User Interface: But it might have its cost implications
Marketing: And there is no reason we need to make it look as fashionable and stylish as a mobile phone it can still be lightweight plastic you know ? Something that is easily moulded and produced Sorry I am treading on your territory guys
Project Manager: we have got half an hour before the next meeting so we are all going to go off and do our individual things I think that is probably about it and then we will come back and liaise again and I get to do another fantastic PowerPoint presentation
Industrial Designer: Just just a quick thing about the about what you are saying about the does does it need to be fashionable ? The sort of I I had a quick look at the company website and it is like the the we put the fashion into electronics so I think think the whole design thing might be qui I mean you do not you you can still have plastic and it would look quite good but
Marketing: But I mean it does not have to be that you know th that was my main point we do not have to use metal I do not know if using plastic does make it cheaper
Project Manager: it would probably I mean there is Sky remote controls and everything They are kind of moulded and look a bit different and the Telewest remote controls are silver plastic which looks a bit smarter so I guess that is stuff we can think about | Industrial Designer desired to integrate remote controls for different appliances into one. Marketing pointed out that such integration would lead to too many buttons, which was not user-friendly enough. Instead, Marketing suggested that a menu display should be incorporated. Project Manager and User Interface agreed and added that basic buttons could remain. User Interface and Industrial Designer refused the flip top, however, for it costs a lot. The team temporarily chose lightweight plastic to be the material. |

Loreen: 4 Long, eh?
Melissa: Not when you're travelling around. Are you going to rent a car again?
Loreen: No, not in Cuba. Too much hustle. They are said to have cheap and good public transport. Car rentals have rather prohibitive prices.
